This is beautifully filmed, and lighting is perfect in every shot. However, I thought the story was slow and drawn out. It allowed us time to soak in the atmosphere, but I would never want to see it more than once. If you want a great story about the rise and fall of power, as well as more potent themes of family, watch Scarface. Parts of Barry Lyndon reminded me of Kubricks A Clockwork Orange, but again, the moments lacked potency in plot, as they depended on the scenery too much.

Truly an amazing epic. The narration is wonderful. The camera as always in Kubricks films is a wonderful vista on the world, though, in this film due to the AMAZING costumes, sets and acting, it surpasses in my estimation any of his other films. I particularly enjoyed the candle lit scenes which I have never seen in any other film (for which he had special lens developed for the low light atmosphere and used an extreme amount of candles for). This is the most underviewed yet of his films. Yet in my estimation is the best. Truly wonderful and thought provoking. The only negative in the film is the length, a common issue in his films, though I enjoy longer films that continue to develop the story. The finally is a must see.
